The parents of a 16-year-old boy involved in a fatal car accident in East Legon are facing their own legal battle.
They’ve asked the court to order the removal of their son’s image from social media, citing a law that protects the privacy of minors.
The couple, including Pastor Salifu Amoako, is currently on trial for allowing their unlicensed teenage son to drive the vehicle that caused the accident. While they grieve the loss of two young lives, they also express concern over the unauthorized sharing of their son’s image online.
The court, while acknowledging the parents’ concerns, suggested they file a police report to address the issue of image privacy. This legal development highlights the complex intersection of grief, legal proceedings, and digital privacy in the aftermath of a tragic event.
